Frequently Asked Questions

Are all CD rates listed on CD Valet federally insured ?

CD Valet only shows rates from financial institutions that are federally insured. Typically, most banks are federally insured by the FDIC while credit unions are insured by NCUA. Some financial institutions are privately insured. In general, the FDIC and NCUA insure up to $250,000 per depositor. FDIC coverage is based on account ownership and structure. Depending on ownership, CDs can be insured for more than the standard $250,000. Consumers should check the insured status of the financial institution they are considering. Please contact the bank or credit union directly to determine the insurance eligibility of your deposits.

I'm interested in opening a certificate of deposit with a financial institution listed on CD Valet. How do I open the account ?

CD Valet shows the most competitive CD rates offered by thousands of banks and credit unions nationwide. Found a great rate? If the CD is offered by one of our partner financial institutions, you can easily and securely start the account opening process by clicking “Open Now.” You will be re-directed to the financial institution’s digital account opening process or prompted to provide your contact information so the financial institution can reach out to you to open your account. If the CD is not one of our Featured CDs, you can navigate to the financial institution’s website to learn how to open an account with them. If you have any questions, please reach out to the financial institution or contact our team at support@cdvalet.com.

I'm opening a CD I found on CD Valet. Is my account with CD Valet or the financial institution ?

Congrats on finding a great rate! As an online marketplace, CD Valet does not offer CD products – our site displays rates offered by federally insured banks and credit unions. Your deposit is with the financial institution you’ve chosen to open an account. CD Valet is not involved in your transaction with the financial institution.

Why are there certain CD offerings that are not available for me to open ?

Some financial institutions – mainly community credit unions – may have specified geographic restrictions or membership criteria that must be met to open an account with them. For example, a community credit union in Texas may only offer its financial services to Texas residents that live, work, or attend school in a defined Texas county. In these cases, you may sometimes find a rate on CD Valet that may not be eligible to you or available in your state. We recommend using our ✨Customize Your Search feature to filter for rates that may be available specifically in your state.

Which bank has the highest CD rates right now ?

CD rates change frequently based on market conditions, Federal Reserve policy, and individual bank strategies. The institution offering the highest CD rate today may differ tomorrow, and the best rate can also vary depending on the term length and minimum deposit requirements.

To see which banks and credit unions are currently offering competitive returns, you can review this month's CD rate recommendations and compare options nationwide.
